South Africa has disclosed that Madagascar contacted the government on its solution for coronavirus.
The herbal remedy is called COVID Organics.
Zweli Mkhize, South Africa’s Health Minister spoke to CGTN.
He said Madagascar’s President and Foreign Affairs Minister
had engaged his country on the process of the tonic.
He said, “We actually did get a call from the government of
Madagascar, they did ask us, that they would like to be assisted in the process
of trying to validate and try and help to investigate the scientific basis on
which such a drug could be used.
“I had a call with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of
Madagascar, and there had been a call from the president. We then have said
that our scientific research institutions would be willing to support an
analysis, as it were, on that matter”.
Mkhize noted that traditional medicine is used in all
countries for healing of sicknesses.
He disclosed that there’s a plant in South Africa that has
been used for many decades.
“There’s a herb we used in my part of the land, UMHLONYANE
(worm wood)…for fevers, for flus. Where I grew up, we didn’t go to the
hospital, we used a lot of that. If you had fever as young people, we knew
you’d go there and collect the stuff and use it for steaming and for drinking
as a kind of tonic and bath,” he said.
South Africa has said they won’t debate on the efficacy or
otherwise of traditional medicines and cures, including the Madagascar remedy.
Last week, the World Health Organisation (WHO) stated that
Madagascar must scientifically test COVID Organics.
